I don’t know what theme you have but at the moment bbpress only works in theme twenty ten 1.2.

[john9]

I have a WordPress 3.2.1. and bbPress 2.0.1

and in forum write this:

Warning: sprintf(): Argument number must be greater than zero in

xxxxxxxxxxxx.xx/web/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-includes/bbp-forum-template.php on line 1690

What does this mean?

Thank you for super plugin.

I don’t know if my post has been hacked because the originator and tag information have been changed.

I posted on here 3 days ago although your notice board says 1 day. I’ve not received an answer and had another look today.

I noticed that the originator of the post has been changed to The North face jackets and the tags changed to LED Board, LED Display and LED screen.

The psoting affected is unable to display bbpress in wordpress. I have resolved this but I now have another problem with displaying posts correctly. I will post a new topic on this.

Sorry, I’m new to bbPress. I was referencing the docs found under the Docs tab at the top of this website.

I am using version “Version 2.0.1”.

I installed it through WordPress’ plugin installer, could that cause an issue?

[Anointed]

Sounds like you might be reading the docs for the old 1x system?

bbPress 2.0 does not have an admin panel as it does not need one, being a native WordPress plugin and all.

[AWCQ]

I’m trying to get bbPress set up. I don’t see a way to access the bbPress admin mentioned below:

“In the “WordPress Integration” section of the “Settings” area in your bbPress admin you will find a “User Role Map” where you can set which roles will be applied to users who register on your forums.”

I read somewhere it’s accessed by going to siteurl/bb-admin but that returns a page not found.

The forum is there and seems to work otherwise, however.

Hi all,

I am adding ratings to forum topics for a single forum, using this plugin

http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-postratings/

I have added the required code to loop-topic.php and loop-single-topic.php to get ratings showing up in the topic list.

I am now trying to restrict these ratings to a single forum but I have not been able to find a way to get the current forum id to check if it is the right forum to display the ratings

[tony webb]

I have integrated bbpress in my wordpress account.

I have made a test forum, topic and post and wanted to see how they appear on the wppress forum page that I made. They don’t display even though I set the page category to forum.

What do I need to do to get my forum to display in wordpress?

If it helps – I have installed and activated the following plugins;

bbpress

bbpress integration

bbpress post toolbar

[Trobee]

I have a similar situation, although I will have forums on other subsites eventually, so I have it enabled over the whole site, but I only created forums on one subsite.

The only thing I think I had to do was set up rewrites in .htaccess from all other subsites and the main site to view user profile pages.

For the main page:

RewriteRule ^users/(.*)$ /forums/users/$1 [L,R=301]

For subsites:

RewriteRule ^[subsite]/users/(.*)$ /forums/users/$1 [L,R=301]

Also, I am using the “Move Privacy Options” plugin to make the subsite private, and I noticed that the bbpess rss feeds are not private. I am currently woking on fixing this and so far this is what I have got, which is by no means perfect.

You will need to find the functions bbp_display_topics_feed_rss2 and bbp_display_replies_feed_rss2 in bbp-topic-functions.php and bbp-reply-functions.php respectively, and add this code to the beginning of each fuction

if (!isset($_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER'])) {

header('WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm="My Website"');

header('HTTP/1.1 401 Authorization Required');

exit;

}

$user = wp_authenticate($_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER'], $_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_PW']);



if ( !$user || is_wp_error($user) ) {

header('WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm="My Website"');

header('HTTP/1.1 401 Authorization Required');

}

Which should limit who can read the rss feeds to people who have a login to your wordpress site.

Hi all,

I am looking into possible ways to rank forum topics via user ratings, ie, a feature request forum where users can vote on if they want the features suggested in each topic. I have been looking at http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/rating-widget/screenshots/ which claims it has bbpress support, but I cannot find out how to set it up. Has anyone trued this before or know of other possible rating plugins

I just tried a fresh install of wordpress and bbpress in a test subfolder, and IT’S WORKING ! What did I do to my main install ?

[elenazvarici]

Hi guys

I am running WordPress 3.2.1 bbpress 2.0.1 single site, platformpro theme.

After several installs and reinstalls of the bbpress plugin while not working, I think the settings are persistent to the database and maybe in some other places, which makes the reinstalls not effective. What should I do ? Empty the bb_ tables in my database or simply drop them ? please note I am a newbie.

I tried clearing the tables but somehow I kept having the same issues: My problem imo is that forums show as blog posts. I am also trying to run the pagelines.com platformpro / base theme which I bought some time ago.

Please tell me what should I delete / clear to make sure to have a fresh install ?

Files / tables.

Thank you very much.

[OPI Axxium Gel]

I need that code. PLease send me! Thank you.

This is all in one (not very robust). It uses brute force to loop through every user, then uses built in functions of WordPress to check each user’s credentials.

It almost timed out on my site with a measly 7000 users, so 200,000 will almost certainly be a problem.

Suffice to say, it’ll need chunking. I’m also checking on some safety issues with the way I’m detecting superfluous users. It currently does these checks:

1. Is the user only a subscriber (this is the questionable check – though it seems to work)?

2. Does the user have any posts?

3. Does the user have any approved comments?

As long as the user has no posts, no approved comments, and is only a subscriber, it’ll delete that user.

If you want to use this as is, you can comment out the entire foreach block starting on line 73. That will make it so you can at least load the page (this block tries to count the number of users it will delete – which in your case will likely timeout).

You can then just hit “Do it!” a few times (it’ll time out each time, but it’ll take a chunk of user out before it times out).

Hi,

I have installed WP 3.2.1 and activated “Site wide forums” option. Then I created several public forums in the FORUMS menu of bbpress.

Now I have the problem that I don’t see a single forum when I click on “Neues Thema” (german version). I can publish new entries in groups (the standard BuddyPress Forum option I think).

What do I have to do to be able to publish entries in a created forum?

Additionally: I have inserted the bbpress Forum lsit widget which shows all created forums. When I click on a forum in the widget list, a new page is displayed but without a forum title and the displayed forum entries are the same in all forums.

Thanks.

Tom

Hi,

I’m trying to exclude all forum post types within my main WordPress theme’s functions.php file using this sort of syntax:

$post_type != 'forum'

However it doesn’t seem to work. Here is the full if statement I’m using:

function single_post_nav() {

if ( is_single() && !in_category(array('54', '55', '56', '57', '58')) && !is_category(array('54', '55', '56', '57', '58')) && $post_type != 'forum' ) { ?>



Some stuff

However, it is still displaying the content on forum pages. Does anyone know the correct way to exclude the forum posts within functions.php?

Any help much appreciated.

Cheers – Ben

[CaptainN2]

In WordPress admin -> Settings (not the forums submenu – its in WordPress’s normal Settings block) -> Forums. The settings you seek are in there.

[CaptainN2]

Very good, thank you for the information.

Another question – if I hit spam on the spammy comments, does that train the Akizmet filter? It does seem that some spam is getting caught, so I’d guess it’s all going through Akizmet?

Also somewhat related (though more generally applicable to WordPress) – anyone know of a good User pruning plugin? The ones I find in the plugin repos don’t seem to work.

I have installed my wordpress and run BBpress plug-in. I decided to add additional plugin intended for BBpress which is Easy Albums – (Buddypress users create and share images, video and audio albums – the easy way.) This plug-in works properly with the default theme for BBpress but when I change it to Frisco BBPress Theme everything seems to be okey not until when I click the album tab in the profile of each users.

When I am in the tab of Activity, Profiles, Message, Friends and etc the sidebar works well and when I click on the Album tab which the Easy Albums Plug-in added that tab then the sidebar is misaligned.

I hope someone can help me about this..

Here’s the link http://enimz.com/gp60/members/admin/albums/

[blockquote]Does registration go through normal WP reg process? I can’t find it from the forums, but the spam bots sure can![blockquote]

I believe it does so adding something like reCAPTCHA to your reg form should reduce the spam you’re getting on your forum. Something like this: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/si-captcha-for-wordpress/ for instance.

[blockquote]If not logged in, I can’t see any way to post to the forum, or any register links in the forum area. Is a setting for this (I have it set at defaults, only registered users can post, and anyone can register), or do I have to add theme support? (I’m using 2011.)[/blockquote]

You can add a link to your template linking to the wp registration page (“url.com/wp-login.php?action=register” or something like that) or simply load the bbpress login widget and add the registration link to it.

[blockquote]I forgot to mention another issue I’ve had – bbpress doesn’t get along with wp-super-cache – is there any easy way to get around that (disable the cache just for the forums tree for example)?[/blockquote]

You can try Hypercache. I believe that plugin allows you to exclude pages you don’t want to cache so you can exclude your forum from being cached.

I have no users on the second installation at all.

Other than the single wordpress admin, I myself am.

[devotee]

I have this problem also. Topics appear in random order. I´t a fresh install of WordPress single user site, and lastest bbPress. Recounting did nothing sadly…if anyone solves this problem please let me know, the forum is unusable like this.

[John James Jacoby]

This won’t be easily possible. WordPress handles post type rewrite rules automatically.

[John James Jacoby]

Interesting. Will test some things. Can you create a ticket over at bbpress.trac.wordpress.org to remind me?
